New Delhi: Heavy rains lashed Delhi and its adjoining National Capital Region (NCR) since Wednesday night bringing respite from humidity. However, incessant rainfall left the city reeling from waterlogging at various parts.

According to reports, the Safdarjung observatory recorded 4.6 mm rainfall till 8:30 am while the rainfall recorded by Palam observatory was 9.3 mm.

Heavy showers led to severe traffic jams during office hours in the city, especially those commuting from Noida to Delhi and vice versa got stuck in the slow movement of traffic.
